        Our sophisticated status facility.  Similar to Git's status command
        but shows any in-progress update that's awaiting a merge resolution
        or any other on-going TopGit activity (such as a branch creation).

        With a single `--verbose` (or `-v`) option include a short status
        display for any dirty (but not untracked) files.  This also causes all
        non file status lines to be prefixed with "## ".

        With two (or more) `--verbose` (or `-v`) options, additionally
        show full symbolic ref names and unabbreviated hash values.

        With the `--exit-code` option the exit code will be non-zero if any
        TopGit or Git operation is currently in progress or the working
        directory is unclean.
